“Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer?"/"He couldn’t see himself doing it.”

A riddle about the invisible man is:

Q: Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer?
A: He couldn’t see himself doing it.

The joke has been cited in print since at least 2010.

Wikipedia: The Invisible ManThe Invisible Man is a science fiction novella by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson’s Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body’s refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it.
